Actually, you can define a compare function for the datGrid to use, then check in your function if you are going to compare numbers or strings and go from that on. I did that some time ago, if anyone is interested int he code I´ll be glad to share.
I´ve used the DataGrid on my example for the SQLite Connector at http://www.Software-and-Solutions.de You might want to give it a try to see how the DG performs. The DB that comes with tbe Example will produce you a very large result set if you try that Query: Select * from City Join Country Limit 1000; Be sure to adopt the Limit to the number of rows you want, if you SELECT without an limit you´ll get back millions of rows... Hit the SELECT button to parse the data into the DG, or the QUERY button to directly show the raw text data, thus allowing speed comparisons hth -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Scott Hyndman Sent: Thursday, March 16, 2006 2:37 AM To: Flashcoders mailing list Subject: RE: [Flashcoders] DataGrid Component Performance >It might be interesting to try delegating sorting to the server and getting a permutation vector back...but even then, it might give you trouble. I rethought this. I imagine the issue surrounding the sort is related to the calculations done by the grid, and probably not the sort itself.

Like a tree/table idea? No, it can't. It is build to handle thousand of rows, but there a couple of issues. Population of the datagrid is slow as molasses. You might be able to short circuit your way into some better performance, but it's a crapshoot. Also, don't even bother trying to sort. It might be interesting to try delegating sorting to the server and getting a permutation vector back...but even then, it might give you trouble. Also, column sorting is limited to string sorts. When I needed more complex sorting behaviour, I achieved it by subclassing DataGridColumn (might be named differently, it's been awhile) and hooking into the header's press handler.

Can you expand rows? Can it handle thousands of rows? _______________________________________________ Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com To change your subscription options or search the archive: http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders Brought to you by Fig Leaf Software Premier Authorized Adobe Consulting and Training http://www.figleaf.com http://training.figleaf.com _______________________________________________ Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com To change your subscription options or search the archive: http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders Brought to you by Fig Leaf Software Premier Authorized Adobe Consulting and Training http://www.figleaf.com http://training.figleaf.com
